Weekend Video - Tom Waits

At something of a loss as to what to post this weekend I went to the "recommended for you" section of my YouTube page where I discovered this gem of a 1979 rotoscope animated film featuring Tom Waits (and Donna Gordon) and directed by John Lamb. (Rotoscope is the process that takes live film and traces in back frame by frame into animation.)

"If only all blogs were as life-affirming and tender-hearted as that of gallerist James Danziger. Whether his focus falls on the work of an individual artist or a particular theme, The Year in Pictures is compulsive reading."
